10/10The Ancient Roman traditions and the way they eat and drink just made me want to do it and the inside restaurant were amazing. One thing they could of changed was the music such as traditional Roman music.

10/10Staff were fantastic - so friendly and helpful. Food was amazing and the ancient menu was an unforgettable experience with its unique dishes and being dressed in the Roman toga.

8.5/10Friendly staff , decent meal. Prices are comparable to other place. It was fun to put on a costume they lend you to get into the Roman ambiance. (Wearing the costume is optional).

Grazie per la tua recensione! Siamo lieti di sapere che hai trovato il nostro staff amichevole e il pasto soddisfacente. Ci fa piacere che ti sia divertito a indossare il costume per immergerti nell'atmosfera romana, anche se è opzionale. Speriamo di rivederti presto per un'altra piacevole esperienza!

10/10Our experience was soooo good and the food was excellent, Augustine was our waiter and he was so so patient and personable. The lady had us dress up in Roman attire and took several pictures of us. I would highly recommend Caupano in Pompei Italy.

10/10I didn't realize how special this restaurant was when we decided on it, so was very pleasantly surprised by the atmosphere and the menu. We were able to eat types of food that we hadn't seen on our trip, and were definitely more traditional to early Pompeii, like venison. The addition of robes to wear for the whole family was just adorable, and even my teenagers thought it was fun.

10/10We absolutely loved our evening at Caupona. When we arrived, they welcomed us in with warmth and immediately set about dressing my wife an I in traditional Pompeii dress. Our daughter was tired so didn’t follow suit, but she did find it all very amusing! We then enjoyed a surprising menu of meats, vegetables and incredible tastes. My daughter, being five, enjoyed a tomato pasta dish, offered by our attentive waiter. The Pompeii local wine has a lovely Smokey taste to it and complemented the hearty food perfectly. Would highly recommend a visit!

3.5/10Food was terrible. I would not return just because of the food. It’s very deceiving because they have high reviews on google and otherwise but it was not good. I had octopus, mozerella caprese, and pasta with clams. The pasta was the worst. It had a terrible smell and I did not see any clams.
Caupona • Owner
Salve Edward, le nostre recensioni non rispecchiano quello che lei dice in quanto utilizziamo solo prodotti di prima qualità, ma comunque sarebbe preferibile manifestare malcontenti al nostro personale in modo da risolvere. Speriamo di riaccogliervi presto nella nostra Caupona. Cordiali saluti

10/10This was such a fun evening, even though I was on my own. There was a warm welcome and you just have to enter into the spirit of dressing up! The service was very good, without being intrusive. The food was excellent, beautifully prepared, and arrived piping hot.

10/10First of all, I want to sigh the environment, the really beautiful garden. Give people a comfortable and enjoyable mood. The service is also very good, I really like the service staff here, they are hospitable and professional. The food, of course, is what we like very much, the price is right, and the seafood is fresh. This is the restaurant that makes me want to eat again, and I will definitely come again if I have the chance. Recommended to my friends!

10/10This restaurant was completely unexpected, we chose the restaurant because of the good reviews online and having recently visited Pompeii I was interested to see how they would replicate the authentic cuisine and decor. We went for the authentic ancient Pompeii menu and we were not disappointed. Every dish was amazing, the atmosphere and ambience were spot on and the hosts could not have been more attentive. It's a little bit off the Beaten Track but very close to Pompeii itself only 5 minutes by car or a 15-minute walk. If you don't have long make sure you don't miss this little gem!

10/10This restaurant was an amazing find! The food was excellent and the ambiance was exquisite! They even had us put on our own Roman robes! The restaurant was family owned and run and the people there were so kind and fun. We were their only customers tonight and I can’t believe this place wasn’t packed. Best food and experience in Italy thus far!

10/10The food was incredible, the staff were wonderful, and the atmosphere was simply beautiful, decorated with images of ancient frescoes, solid wooden tables and big goblets for wine. It is clear the owners and staff put a lot of care and attention to detail into creating a wonderful experience for visitors, foodies and history buffs alike! An unforgettable experience and a must-see.

7/10Great proximity to Pompeii, however the food was underwhelming. Would have liked to try the pizza and pasta place closer to the entrance for the price.

10/10The approach to the restaurant is not indicative of the food, staff and the setting inside. The chef does a great job with the food and menu. The four of us enjoyed the fish dish, , lamb, veal, and gnocchi. The caprese appetizer was very good. House wine was good and a great value. Service was exceptional. The staff wears a toga as a part of their uniform, but don't let this give you any preconceived notions. The food and service are all high quality.
